Invention crown up for grabs

Strains of probiotic organisms, semiconductors, and software developers will all battle it out to be crowned UCC’s Invention of the Year.

This year’s innovations range from new probiotic strains which significantly reduce stress, anxiety and pain, to software enabling accelerated data services for satellite systems at lower costs and increased speed and quality.

From semiconductor substrate formation to nano-pattern technology, the innovative research projects reflected the wide variety of research being conducted across the university.
